Re: a binary package update
Hi, I have package-1.0 installed and want to update to package-2.0 using package-2.0.tbz package file. This binary package is at /var/tmp/packages/All. I have no /usr/ports directory export PKG_PATH=/var/tmp/packages/All export PKG_FETCH=/usr/bin/false portupgrade -PP postgresql-server ** Port directory not found: databases/postgresql83-server ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) - databases/postgresql83-server (port directory error) Do I need to have /usr/ports/ installed on that system? I just want to upgrade to package-2.0.tbz without having anything related to Ports ( /usr/ports) on my systems? Just like a rpm -Uhv package-2.0.rpm on Linux. Can someone enlighten me on how to do that with portupgrade? Or maybe with another tool on FreeBSD? Regards.

In order to do so, you may use the simple (and ugly) shell script I attached.

If you want to use portupgrade - yes, I think so. I just want to upgrade to package-2.0.tbz without having anything related to Ports ( /usr/ports) on my systems? Just like a rpm -Uhv package-2.0.rpm on Linux. Can someone enlighten me on how to do that with portupgrade? As far as I understand, not possible. Portupgrade is not the tool to do this. Or maybe with another tool on FreeBSD? Yes, as I said, pkg_add is used for this. You can even use it to overwrite the installed package (pkg_add -f). In order to achieve what I thought you intend to do, use the script I attached to you. It will download all the packages required. Then, transfer them to the other machine, and use pkg_add with the file name of the package you want to install. It will usually overwrite everything with the wrong version number that still does exist. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
a binary package update
Hi, How can I update a pre-compiled package for example I have a package-1.0.tbz and I have downloaded package-2.0.tbz.
